Is M$ safer than UN*X(-LIKE)??
I know that you already know the answer to the question. It just springed in my mind after what happened yesterday. I was getting some books off of Amazon.com, since they are cheeper than bookstore, and my mother said something that made me laugh 'till I couldn't breathe. I have a Debian Lenny box while my parents have an XP box. My mom still doesn't understand the difference so she thinks that because I don't have antivirus or antispyware like she does, that my box is less safe
I tried to explain it again but she still can't grasp M$ virus vs PC virus. So she says that we must do it on an M$ box since it is more secure. So, basically, this is a question for all you UN*X users out there, and maybe you Mac fans: Has a Windows user ever told you that your machine wasn't safe from all those nasty viruses and trojens [that only affect Windows I might add
] since you don't have anti virus or anti anything?
P.S. She also told me that that Norton 360 was safer than Linux.
Any ADMIN can delete this if they believe that it breaks any UNIX.com rules.
